The current circumstances in Japan make it necessary to cancel the Spruce Grove Composite High School student trip scheduled for later this month. As of 14 March 2011 (16:00 EDT) Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada advises against non-essential travel to Tokyo and surrounding areas.
As you know, the March 11, 2011 earthquake and the subsequent tsunamis have created a very devastating situation with extensive damage to the country’s infrastructure. Parkland School Division will not support students and staff being subject to the risks involved in visiting Japan during these uncertain times.
We are first and foremost, concerned about the safety and security of students and staff. This situation is most unfortunate.
We understand the disappointment for the 17 students and families involved. Spruce Grove Composite High School staff and PSD Senior Administration are working alongside parents during the cancellation process.
